In modern society, people’s lifestyles and working environments are changing significantly due to the complex interactions of many factors, including global warming, the declining birthrate and aging population, and the rapid development of AI technology. In the agricultural sector, too, the effects of global warming and the aging population are leading to the mechanization and automation of farming work in order to reduce the workload, but the situation remains one in which manual and mechanical work coexist. For this reason, new support measures are needed to improve the working environment and reduce the physical and mental load.
